Miss Flyaway, of course. She lives in every
city, every town, oyery village. She is Il
big part of every society circle. She goes
everywhere. She sees everything. She is
at receptions, balls, the opera-at all the
great entertainments. She is a perfectly
lovely creature. She always has a perfectly
gorgeous time. All the people she fancies
are awfully nice. All others are horrid,
don't you know. If she goes out anywhere
and where is it she doesn't go ?-every-
thing she sees is perfectly beautiful. If it
is a pug dog as ugly as mud fence, in her
eyes it becomes perfectly lovely. If it is a
silk dress, it is perfectly magnificent. If it
is a sad dude with pink boutonniere it is
tremendously swell. If it is a snowy dog
cart, it is just too awfully cute for anything
Every party that this surerlativo creature
attends is the most lovely affair she eyer

THE ORIGINAL sHYLOCK.

A correspondent of the Cincinnati
American Israeffte contributes what
he considers the original Of Shakes
peare's famous character Of s'Shylock,"
that In its race aspect the
odium of cruelty justly belongs "to the
other side ;"
In biography of Pope Sixtus v,
we read: ga rumor was spread abroad
in Rome that (Sir Francis) Drake had
taken Santo Domingo In Aispaniola,
and that he had plundeFed the place
and carried away an immense
amount of booty. This news soon
came by letter to Paul Sechi, prom.
inent merchant of the city, who had
important interests In those parts. He
Immediately told 1t to the Jew, SImson
Ceneda, with whom he had insured
his merchandise. Ceneda, whose
interests required a denial of the story,
brought forward many arguments to
show why the news should not be
believed, and to show the impossl-
bility of its being true, and finally
became 80 jealous that he said "I
bet pound OF my flesh that 1t Is q
lie !" Sechi, man Of very lively
uho"SAOA ~ OhSV ><AuA
/ will bet a thousand crowns against q
pound of your flesh that 1t is the TRUTH
Ceneda laughingly took the bet ;
but soon heard that he had lost, and
that Sechi would exact literal COM
pliance with the terms of the wager.
The rumor of this extraordinary
transaction reached even the Pope,
who caused both men to appear before
him to give an account Of the matter,
which, being done, he said III q
contract is made, 1t Is right and proper
that it should be complied With
Take therefore a knife, Sechi, and cui
pound of flesh out of whatever part o.
the Jews body you please but take
heed, tell you, for II you cut away {
single scruple more, you shall certainl,
be hanged /! It is easily seen tina
Sechi no longer persisted in his hor
rible demand"

A CONTINENTAL REPUBLlC."

Mr.. w. E. Curtis of the Chicago
News had an interview with Senator
Ingalls, recently Of which the following
's an extract:
ssSenator Ingalls, declared himself,
with his characteristic emphasis, as In
favor OF the annexation of Canada, and
not only Canada, but the entire Gen.
trail American States. He coined o
word to express his doctrine, and 1t
was "continental Republic" The
unanimity Of the assault upon him by
speech on the fisheries resolution would
seem to indicate that the blows he
struck were felt, and were good deal
more than disturbance Of the air.
That he struck . popular chord in this
country Is shown by the deluge Of let
tiers that set in..upou him the day after
his speech was delivered, and still con-
tinue with increasing numbers.
Gle has received a good many from
Canada, as we'll as from citizens of the
United States, and the former all anon
ymous, vituperative, vindictive and
insotent to the last degree. The letters
from this country have come from
every State that could send mall 80 far
as Washington since tho debate, and
are all congratulatory, enthusiastic and
grateful.
81 asked tho Senator to show me
some Of the letters, and pointing to a
great pile on his desk, he said was at
liberty to hclp myself aud permitted
me to take q copy OF q few samples,
without giving names.
81 asked him II he had read the at
tacks upon himself in tho English and
Canadian papers.
"My attention has been called to
them, he replied. The tenor of the
editorials of the leading London jour-
mails Is q further illustration OF the
temper Of England and her instit.

SCOTCH HEATHER.

Just sprig of Scottish heather,
In a letter where the tears,
Which have blotted words together
Have been dried these many years.
Loving lines, yet sadly cheerful.
How "'twas lonesome here to-day"
Then q pause, q little fearful
"Dear, you are so for away"
Every sentence has its token
OF a love which could not fail.
Throbbipg with faith unspoken,
Though the ink is growing pale.
Faded are tho lines, dim-1ettered.
Like sad ghosts upon the poge.
All. that poor love should be fettered
With the rusty iron OF age!
Then that limo, II picked the heather
From that spot. dear, you will know,
Where we walked and talked together
Oh, it seems so long ago."

was missing from that day?
If you know how have needed
Some new token through the years
You have slept away unheeded-
It must move your ghost to tears.
If You still know how love you,
How I've missed you day by day,
Since the heather grew above you
You could never stay away.
Take all treasures, time, I cherish,
Fame, and hope, and life at last
Fitting things which needs must perish,
Spare this memory of the past.

In a letter, where the tears
Which have blotted words together,
Have been dried these many years.

The fancy for decorating the hair Is,
I think, destined TO short life. In.
asmuch ~ very few have the knack Of
arranging the hair gracefully and be-
comtngly, the result 10 apt to be rather
fantastic, when carried to excess, than
otherwise. For instance, one pre-
scr!bed fashion is to brush the hair

He stopped to laugh, and politely
passed Stephanie the butter.
"If you are going on up the Air

Stephanie thanked him again, and
taking out his notebook he dashed OF

This was rather astonishing piece
of information to Stephauie. But she
could not help feeling pleased with

never before occurred to her that II
she escaped being called book agent,
there was still the chance left OF being
dubbed ssdrummer."
When they parted company at the
hotel, his route lay In the opposite d.

'"Tis thus with drummers ever,
On life's unresting sea;
We meet, and greet and sever,
Drifting eternally."
Then he smiled cheerfully, wished
her cordial "good luck" and stepped
briskly up the street, sample case In

1t was not. long after Stephanie
heard that he was one In that noted

went down hundred foot trestle, and

OF one thing she was certain that
he went down to his death with

I Newspaper Bohemian,
BY FANNIE MAY TROISDALE.
CHAPTER III.

l@SnHAT was the beginning Of a
VEe march triumphale, for Stepha-
SSSs1ss ME, at least for weeks space.
eSgP Propitious fate led her feet into
broad and pleasant way, in the be-
ginning of her pilgrimage. Her spirits
expanded like flower in the sun.
The fresh mountain air brought color
into her pale cheeks, and the untram-
melled freedom of this Bohemian life
held charm that only a Bohemian
can understand, and never forget,
She began TO feel a compassion for
the poor, home-bound, plodding life of
the people who were condemned to
look upon the same scenes and same
faces daily. How fiat and profitless
life must seem to them, with its un-
varying routine. Theirs was a tread,
mill existence, whose diary Cif they
ever kept one) could ring no further
changes than Mark Twain's in
"Abroad," "get up, wash and go 10
bed"
All, those first days, filled with the
golden eXlixer of late autumn, when
the spirits arose fresh, as from bath,
and shook off the dust and heat, and
weariness of summer in pent~up
Utica.
Those were such kindly people Ste
phanie met; they were more than res
pcc,ful, they were even cordial, many
of them, and she was quite favorite
during her brief stay In towns and viii
lagos. Nowhere in all our beautiful
aud generous South are there such a
people as these of South Carolina. II

glary at Marlboro some time ago, has
shaken the dust Of Stark from his shoes
and Is no where to be sem. When Myers
and Carl Ady we're arrested the whole of
Marlboro rose up and proclaimed his in
nOcence Good men offered to bail him
and II was claimed that he was victim
of q persection. Recent devel Jpme .ts,
however, clearly demonstrate that Myers
is MT only guilty Of burglarizlng the
store at Marlboro, but that he was guilty
also of breaking into the Nash, Taylor &
Co. store In New Baltimore. In that act
he was caught and settled for cash
payment of 800. IL was agreed at the
time that nothing should be said about
1t, but 1t In some way leaked out and the
parties we're subj % laed before the grand
jury. where everything was given away.
Ady also turned States evidence and
testified against Myers.
Myers is highly connected and is the
only heir to valuable property 10 Marl

to be an honest fellow. Prosecutor

That 1t was clearly the intent OF the
legislature to give the city OF Cleveland
a board Of aldermen with legislative
and executive power as conferred upon
similar boards In other cities. The pro-
visions Of the law clearly showed that
there was no intention to rob the board
of its power and make them the laugh

held that under the law providing for
the election Of the board, and which
was claimed to be defective, the board
had power to make appointments.

tend over two more, making In all five
acres Of land covered by the plant. Pen.
mock Bros. received numerous offerl to
come and locate In their midst, but after
considering them all, concluded to re-
main here. With three lines Of compet-
ing railroads, skilled labor at live and
let live wages, cheap fuel and an atunl
ance Of oak timber, such Bs is used in
the construction Of cars, that can be
had for almost "song," they could lot
think Of giving mp their old site for
new field of labor, where they would be
trobled with strikes, ETC., and be placed
on an equal footing with the other
large factories throughout the country.
As 1t ls, they can turn out better work
for less money than any factory Of the
same kind. They expect to have the
shops completed and be at work on their
contracts by Jnne l. The plant will at
least be one.half larger, and employ not
less than two hundred men.
